Cheap 18Gb SCSI HDD anyone?

[melott]

Sure they're cheap.....
But this ones cheaper.
I bought 47 gig SCSI Seagate drive (new)
for $19.00 + shipping.

The problem is formatting and partitioning it.

I have OS 3.9 and it doesn't reconize it for what
it is. HDTools thinks its a 20 meg drive.
I checked Aminet and a GOOGLE search but
haven't fond a solution for this problem.
If anyone knows how to fix this I'd really
like to know.

Just do a search on 'Seagate'

They also have a '9' gig ( I think it was ) for
 $7.95 or there abouts ( don't quote me on that )

Now if someone will tell me how to partition and
format this drive I'll be happy.

The reason I bought this drive is it is only intended
as a back-up drive. I have a 1 gig Conner drive as
my internal on the WarpSCSI. Its quite fast.
This Saegate doesn't have to be fast. I just wanted a
large drive for storage and back-up.
And at 800,000 hrs. MTBF this drive should last
me forever. It will be in an external drive box that I
only turn on when I need the CD Rom or something
off the back-up drive. I have a 1 gig drive as a backup
now but for the price I didn't think I could go wrong.
 :-(  little did I know  :-(
Formatting and partitioning 'IS' a problem.
I still need some help here  :-D
